"The Way of the Seabhean" Shamanic Priestessing

With International Shamanic Teacher and Healer Amantha MurphyApril 6-8, 2018

Seabhean - the womyn who walks between the worlds, weaving the threads of the fabric of the Earth and those who live upon Her.

Shamanic Priestessing - Bringing the balance of our Power, Passion and Grace within ourselves, and through that experience we naturally create the space for those around us to find that balance and healing within themselves. Creating the space for each to fall within and become whole.​The Keeper of the Mysteries - it is She who remembers and reweaves things into balance, weaving the web through Sound, through Dreaming, and through Weaving. Journeying for her clan/the tribe; retrieving what was lost or disconnected and cutting the ties to what no longer feeds or supports.

The role of the Seabhean is to keep the balance of the weave.To midwife both birth and rebirth.There will be stories to remind us of the stories we carry within our bones, chants to awaken our memories within our blood and dance to embrace all that we are.

Using Drumming, rattle, dance, chants and sound

The beat of our hearts is the pulse of our Mother Earth

Dreaming the Earth’s Dream and your Dream

Calling us to be ourselves. To walk in our Beauty...

At this time in our "Story," as womyn we are being called upon to "Priestess." To Priestess ourselves, Priestess our Sisters and Brothers and to Priestess our blessed Mother Earth in Her transition.

So what does it mean to Priestess – for me it means moving into the divine, while being fully present in our feminine and speaking through our hearts while holding the Chalice. Each one of us is a chalice and within that we hold deep knowing, deep power and deep creativity. To hold that chalice for others to drink from and be replenished, so they may go/grow forth in the way that is meant for them. And our Chalice never empties, it fills us first – or it should – before we offer it for others to partake of. Bringing forth the Madeline energies, again, within the Ancient Irish Shamanic tradition and remembering our foremothers and the womyn who held sacred those ways upon our land.

Amantha Murphy is a Shamanic Teacher and Healer who follows the path of the Goddess. She started her spiritual work publicly in 1972 as a clairvoyant and moved into trance mediumship and healing within a few years. She developed many tools along the Way with her spirit and ancestral teachers guiding her, and continues to work with both individuals and groups, at home and internationally. She is a Mother of four and Grandmother of four, living in County Kerry, Ireland, working primarily with the Land, Seabhean Teachings, Rites of Passage, and Ancient Goddess Pilgrimages. Her passion is the Land and returning to HER story -- working through the Grandmothers, the “Shining Ones” the Tuatha de Danann and the Ancient Ones. She has been running Sacred Pilgrimages in Ireland since 1995.

“From my earliest memories my spirit guides have been my constant companions. The spirit and fairy realm was more real to me than this reality. I grew up spending my summers here in Kerry with my grandmother, a midwife and healer, who opened my awareness from an early age to the essence of the Mother, the Land -- and Her Nature. It was she who introduced me to the Sacred Way and places to commune with the Great Mother.”

“I work primarily with the presence of the “Grandmothers” and the Way of the “Sidhe”, our Shining Ones, the Tuatha De Danann and the Ancient Ones, our Stone People. Ireland had a rich culture of indigenous teachings before the coming of the first Celts and it is in accessing that and connecting again with our Ancient Ones that we bring about the deep healing and communion both within and around us.”

“My work, my family, my loved ones, my passion for the Great Goddess and the Land -- this is what moves and feeds me. The Land is my Mother and she has held me for as long as I can remember.”
